Princess Kate, known for her love of sports and competitive nature, is keen on passing down her passion for physical activities to her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
From her school days at Marlborough College, where she excelled in hockey, to her current interests in rowing, swimming, and tennis, Kate has always been actively involved in team sports.
Recently, during a visit to a mental health workshop in Marlowe on October 12, Kate showcased her skills in goalball and netball, impressively scoring on her second attempt at shooting the ball through the net.
The event, organized by Sports Aid and Believe Perform, highlighted Kate’s commitment to instilling a love for sports in her three children, particularly Princess Charlotte.
Following their attendance at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham last year, where Charlotte showed a keen interest in hockey and netball, it became evident that she might be following in her mother’s athletic footsteps.
During a public appearance alongside her parents, Charlotte’s enthusiasm for hockey was so apparent that she expressed a desire to pursue the sport herself, as shared by a member of the game board.
Emma Agbiz, a Commonwealth netball gold medalist, recounted how Charlotte, accompanied by Kate and William, expressed her interest in playing hockey during an England hockey match.
Encouraging Kate to continue engaging in various sports, Agbiz emphasized the positive impact of royal participation in sports on inspiring other children to follow suit.
Reflecting on the influence Princess Charlotte could have on her peers, Agbiz highlighted the importance of role models in encouraging young individuals to explore different sporting activities.
During a family-focused episode of Mike Tindall’s podcast, The Good, The Bad, and The Rugby, Kate discussed her children’s diverse personalities and their budding interest in trying out new sports.
Noting the distinct temperaments of her kids, Kate expressed curiosity about how their preferences would evolve as they grow and experiment with different athletic pursuits.
She also mentioned the expanded opportunities available to Charlotte, such as exploring rugby and football during her physical education classes, options that were not accessible to girls during Kate’s own school days.
